"Snorlax~ (Here you go)"
After Snorlax thoroughly savored the feeling the energy cubes brought, it didn't renege. True to its word, it handed the Poochyena Tracking Device back to Xu Li.
"Snorlax lax (What, are, those small cubes)"
Snorlax clutched its stomach, asking Xu Li with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
"Those are called energy cubes. They are some small foods I made."
"Snorlax~lax~ (Can I, have some, please)"
Seeing Snorlax being so friendly, Xu Li was willing to befriend this Snorlax. He took out all the remaining indigo energy cubes and gave them to Snorlax.
"I didn't make too many of these energy cubes because my Pokémon can't eat them. I'll give you all the rest."
Snorlax, upon receiving the energy cubes, appeared very happy, with a blissful smile unconsciously gracing its face.
"Snorlax~ (Thank you)"
"Well then, goodbye Snorlax. We should be heading back too."
Snorlax looked at the remaining energy cubes, its eyes happily squinting. It felt that this human was different from the other humans it had encountered.
Other humans would yell and run away when they saw it, even fearing it would follow them.
But Xu Li, not only was he not afraid of it, but he also gave it such delicious energy cubes. This made Snorlax have a very good impression of Xu Li.
"Snorlax~ (Goodbye)"
Hearing Xu Li bid it farewell, it subconsciously waved its hand and said goodbye to Xu Li.
It wasn't until Xu Li had walked far away, looking at Xu Li's distant figure and the Pokémon companions beside him, that Snorlax remembered something.
It slapped its Head in annoyance, its logic gradually becoming clear.
These energy cubes could at most last three or four meals, and the energy cubes were made by that human. If it could follow him, wouldn't it have energy cubes constantly?
One meal full versus every meal full. Why not follow him? Anyway, it could Sleep anywhere.
While Xu Li hadn't gone far, there was still a chance.
Thinking this, Snorlax lifted its thick legs and, with heavy steps, pursued Xu Li in the direction he was heading.
······
After bidding farewell to Snorlax, Xu Li decided to return to the wilderness base.
Just now, Xu Li suddenly thought of a move. He took out the [Bug-type move specific TM], a smooth, yellowish-green disc. Xu Li specified the move in his mind.
He found that the [Bug-type move specific TM] slowly transformed into [TM: U-turn], and the smooth yellowish-green disc also developed many patterns.
He called Chimchar over and, under Chimchar's confused gaze, used the [TM: U-turn] on him.
"Chim?"
"How is it? Do you feel a new move?"
"Chim!"
Chimchar discovered a move in his mind. His body moved, green light appeared on his legs, and after striking a nearby tree, it seemed to give Chimchar a strong recoil, sending Chimchar's entire body flying backward.
U-turn, also known as Bug Reversal, is depicted in games as an attack that allows the Pokémon to switch out with a benched Pokémon afterward. It is a very common move for fast Pokémon to read switches and pivot.
However, in reality, Xu Li observed that after the attack, this move would have a huge recoil force.
If one followed this recoil force to retreat, it would create distance from the attacked object, allowing the Pokémon to return to its Trainer or be swapped out for another Pokémon.
This had good functionality for Pokémon like Chimchar and Oshawott, who excelled in short-range combat. Unfortunately, Oshawott couldn't learn U-turn.
On the way to Mount Coronet, Chimchar, who had just learned a new move, was quite excited. The trees along the path all suffered a few kicks from him, and Chimchar's U-turn became increasingly proficient.
But as Xu Li watched Chimchar practice U-turn, it looked more and more like a wall jump from a certain game. The difference was that Chimchar's U-turn probably couldn't change direction in mid-air yet.
If he could change direction in mid-air, Chimchar's combat creativity might be infinitely enhanced.
Xu Li shared this idea with Chimchar, which was met with Chimchar's sparkling eyes.
"Chim~"
Chimchar had originally thought his U-turn was quite proficient, but now, no matter how he looked at it, his U-turn seemed lacking. The trees he passed were further ravaged by Chimchar.
Watching Chimchar twist and turn in the air after a U-turn, yet unable to change direction at all, Xu Li pondered for a moment and then said to Chimchar:
"Hmm~ you can try to control the direction of the first U-turn. For example, you start U-turning from this tree, control your landing point in the air to another tree, then immediately use U-turn again to another spot, staying in the air without landing."
"While this isn't as flexible as changing direction in mid-air, it still offers good possibilities in complex terrain. We haven't found a way to change direction in mid-air without any support points yet."
Chimchar nodded heavily.
"Chim!"
Chimchar leaped onto a nearby fruit tree. Its legs, glowing with green light, used U-turn, leaving a layer of bark on the fruit tree, and pushed Chimchar towards the second tree.
In mid-air, Chimchar's legs glowed green again, preparing to use U-turn on the second tree, but the first aiming point seemed to be a mistake. Chimchar flew past the second tree without landing on it.
"Chim~char~"
Chimchar was not discouraged and started practicing again.
This time, he aimed well, and U-turn landed squarely on the second tree, sending Chimchar's body flying again.
But the owner of the second tree was not pleased. From the tree crown emerged a bug covered in a leafy straw cloak, its eyes red with anger, looking for the culprit who had disturbed it. It was Burmy, and it was a Head.
"Burmy—!"
When it saw Chimchar in the air, it quickly condensed a Bug-type energy in its mouth and spat it out, aiming at Chimchar's landing spot. It was the Bug Bite move.
Chimchar landed and immediately jumped, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Just as Burmy was about to continue its attack, a cold wind came from below it. Looking down, Oshawott was already wielding its Shell Blade, using Shell Blade to attack Burmy.
Burmy, completely unprepared, was directly knocked off the tree it was on by Oshawott's Shell Blade. After arcing through the air, a surprise awaited it at its landing spot.
"Growlithe, Flame Wheel."
Growlithe transformed into a Flame Wheel and charged towards Burmy. In desperation, Burmy lit up a translucent barrier, and when the Flame Wheel crashed into it, it was repelled by the barrier.
"Bur~my"
Protect, a move that can completely resist Pokémon attacks, but fails with continuous use. Burmy's species naturally possesses it.
Seizing the moment when the Protect barrier disappeared, Chimchar, from a distance, spat out a small spark that accurately hit Burmy.
This also ignited Burmy's cloak, causing Burmy to let out a scream and burning Burmy's skin red.
A small spark caused Burmy to enter the burned status? Xu Li subconsciously touched meowth's lucky coin hanging on his chest. Was it its effect?
No, that's not right. Burmy's cloak was naturally flammable.
"Bur…Bur…Burmy~~"
Burmy, whose cloak was burning, became flustered.
It quickly shed its cloak on the spot, becoming a bare bug, then immediately rubbed off its skin, wanting to make the burned status disappear.
This was Burmy's Shed Skin ability, which has a chance to heal status conditions by shedding its skin.
But Burmy's Shed Skin was useless. Growlithe's Flame Wheel attacked Burmy again, directly sending Burmy flying and rolling into the distance.
Xu Li threw a Hisui Poké Ball, and fireworks lit up the grass, capturing the Head Wormadam.
